Collector's balance and postal history

A miscellaneous assortment of stamps and covers from the collector of the used British Commonwealth (see Lots 83 and 207), filling half a box. A folder of album leaves includes Newfoundland classics on vintage pages with a range of fur seals, codfish, etc. However the main value is in the four binders of covers and cards, including early stampless covers with interesting postmarks, line-engraved covers incl. ½d plate 6, 1d red imperf pair and 1850s perf issues, 6d embossed on cover to Melbourne, Victoria, with red 'ship letter - free' on reverse and endorsed 'per Tiptree via Liverpool', then later reign-combo covers, very interesting and attractive Australia and States, India, British Africa, etc, incl. many first flights, redirected, etc. Also a lovely range of Ireland uses again from stampless onwards, 1856 6d lilac on cover from Limerick to Italy, and later 6d plate 8 from Queenstown (now Cobh) to Germany, etc, etc. Very much worth closer investigation. Comes with an additional carton of good accessories and literature including four as-new springback albums with clean pages, SG Commonwealth 'Part 1' 2013, 'Postal History of the Antarctic 1904-49', 'The Cancelations of the Falkland Islands and Dependencies', etc.
